Neon lights
joedotwhy Lyrics

I’m not content with a life like this, day in day out in shit
I am unsatisfied with the monotony and negativity of my current lifestyle.

I think I might cry like this, I think I might die like this
I feel overwhelmed and hopeless, experiencing intense emotions of sadness and despair.

Shell it on stage with my guys
I perform energetically and confidently on stage with my friends.

Into the crowd see the looks in their eyes
As I look into the audience, I can perceive their expressions and reactions.

Always had a hard time tryna' go for the prize cus I care too much bout feelings, I know
I struggle to pursue success because I prioritize emotions and empathy.

No sense of pride
I lack a feeling of self-assurance and dignity.

Guess it makes sense, do it all on the side
It is logical to handle my responsibilities and pursuits concurrently.

But it still feels good when they say my name, they know who it is, I, joedotwhy, aye
However, it brings me joy and validation when people recognize and acknowledge me by my name, joedotwhy.

Take my time but I'm a hasty yout
Although I appear patient, I can be impulsive and quick to act.

Why would I waste my time to try hating you
I see no value in investing my time and energy into despising someone.

Can't you see me shining? Guess that I can't either
Do you not perceive my success and radiance? Ironically, I sometimes fail to recognize it myself.

Scum on the track, one take, no breather
I confidently record my performance with precision and intensity in a single take, without pausing to rest.

Neon lights, neon lights, burning up the sky, yuh
The vibrant neon lights metaphorically ignite and illuminate the sky, symbolizing my impact and presence.

All I do is try you know this shit is do or die, yuh
I relentlessly strive to succeed, recognizing that this pursuit is crucial and has high stakes.

I'm not content with my life
I am dissatisfied with the current state of my existence.

Every day strive, you can see it in my eyes
Each day, I exert effort and determination, a reflection visible in my eyes.

All these niggas say bye when drop come to tide
When my music is released and gains popularity, these individuals suddenly distance themselves from me.

All these niggas want a piece of my pie, oh why, why
These individuals desire a share of my success or wealth, causing confusion and frustration.

No time for lies
I have no patience or tolerance for falsehoods.

Switch on a man I might take a man's life, yeah
If someone betrays or threatens me, I am capable of extreme retaliatory actions.

Switch on a man I might take a man's eyes, yeah
In response to betrayal or danger, I may severely harm or disable someone.

Time waster, you're another hater
You are a person who wastes time and harbors negativity towards me.

I could care less about another simulator
I have no interest or concern for someone who imitates or emulates me.

Pain eraser
I use certain substances or activities to alleviate emotional distress.

Step with a razor
I confidently proceed forward, unafraid and ready to face challenges.

Cutting all these ties from my past, i'm a creator
I am actively and decisively severing connections with my previous experiences and relationships, focusing on my creative endeavors.

See this shit takes time you don't want it
The process of achieving success requires patience and dedication, which many people are unwilling to invest.

Never took a xan all my homies wanna pop them
Contrary to the habits of my friends, I have never consumed a type of medication called Xanax, although they have a strong desire to do so.

I got love for all my problems
Despite the difficulties I face, I have a certain fondness or acceptance for them.

But I'm tryna' keep it all solid all so this weed got me bopping
However, I strive to maintain stability and coherence amidst these challenges, while simultaneously enjoying the euphoric effects of marijuana.

Never fuck with a nigga until he popping
Others should not underestimate or provoke me until I gain significant attention or success.

Since a youngen all my niggas say I keep it rockin'
Since my youth, my friends have acknowledged my ability to maintain and sustain a lively and exciting atmosphere.

Smoking, smoking, get abused
I frequently engage in smoking or other intoxicating activities, subjecting myself to potential harm.

Sorry my darling not tryna' be rude
I apologize, my dear, as I do not intend to act impolitely or offensively.
